Humboldt Sheriff's office asks for public's help to identify home invasion robbers

Authorities on Monday released surveillance footage of three suspects in a Fieldbrook home invasion robbery earlier this month.

The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office was first notified of the Aug. 8 home invasion that occurred around 6:30 a.m. at a residence on the 400 block of Evans Road on Aug. 11 by the victim's daughter, according to the release. A 55-year-old man and his 35-year-old son told a deputy that three men wearing hooded sweatshirts entered the home through an unlocked rear sliding door, pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the father's head and walked him to the son's room, where the son was tied up and struck on the head.

The suspects demanded processed marijuana. When they learned there was none, the men stole a $3,000 coin collection, the victims' wallets and car keys from the safe before fleeing the residence, according to the release.

The first suspect is described as a heavyset white male in his mid-30s, 6-foot-2 inches, about 250 pounds, who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gloves, according to the release. The second suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his late 20s with a mustache and goatee, 5-foot-6 inches tall, 140 pounds, who was wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt. The second suspect was armed with a semi-automatic handgun. The third suspect is described as a white male in his late 20s, 140 pounds, who was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and armed with a semi-automatic handgun.

The sheriff's office ask anyone with information to call the office at 445-7251 or its crime tip line at 268-2539.
